Ski Norquay is Banff National Park’s pioneer ski resort and the place
where you’ll find the majority of the valley’s ski families.
Ski Norquay may be the best kept secret in the Rockies!
Since 1906, Norquay has been a local favourite and continues to offer outstanding
skiing with beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain spread over 28 tree-sheltered
runs high above the town of Banff. State-of-the-art snowmaking on 90 per
cent of the terrain guarantees excellent coverage.
Ski Norquay offers the only night skiing in Banff National Park, including
a fully lit terrain park.
